The merger

"In The Merger, Jeffrey Robinson gives a true account of a global network of unimaginable proportions and lays bare the criminal fraternity's new world order. Until now, the details of these activities were only known to international law enforcement insiders. Robinson makes these connections public, tracing an intricate network of connections between such infamous organized crime rings as the Sicilian Mafiosi, the Camorra from Naples, the Ndrangheta from Calabria, the Chinese Triads, the Russian, Hungarian, and Czech Republic "maffiyas," and organized crime groups from Columbia, Mexico, Nigeria, and Vietnam - just to name a few. Through his meticulous research, Robinson has pin-pointed the factors that led to these global crime cartels - digital communication, world markets, the Internet - revealing how they have changed the face of crime forever."--BOOK JACKET.
